    Default Slightly off topic - 55th Foot in Dodge Commercial

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=St2FCxtlV7w

    Probably the best Rev War tie in commercial I have ever seen. My favorite commercial ever; it just topped the Darth Vader soda pop commercial for me.

    The troops are wearing royal regiment blue facings, but they are carrying a 55th Foot flag.

    I am guessing it is a prop from the Patriot, constructed by a member of the 33rd Foot, who was kind enough to do a 55th Foot flag for the movie.

    I hope this doesn't offend, I wear a redcoat, but I find this hilarious.

    It touches on a subject I have often considered, just how magical (and sometimes terrifying) many of the most mundane items of today's world would seem to someone of the 18th century.

    Somehow reminds me of the 'tuck tuck tuck' cheat for Age of Empires 3, where a giant monster truck would spawn at your town center, it had IIRC 60k health, and would prettymuch instakill everything except for the strongest of buildings.

    I'm glad you all like it, the only drawback is I am afraid my toddler will now grow up thinking George Washington drove a Dodge into battle.
